Your regular commercial airliner, like a Boeing 747 is fast. A super-spy jet like the SR-71 Blackbird is much faster than that, travelling at over three times the speed of sound. So how does a deep-space probe like New Horizons, which recently flew past Pluto, compare? Thanks to this animation, you can see it’s very, very fast indeed.How long would it take you to fly around the world in each?How long would it take you to fly to the moon?How long to fly to Mars?How long to fly to the Sun?
